Not the best pic but any guesses? Body and head is brown. Under wings is almost white. Looks like a black bar across the tail. B0BBBCEE-B98A-41B1-B808-B7301D481814.thumb.jpeg.96af64f83e3fd8236f30a65ebb374ae6.jpeg

Red shouldered Hawk maybe.

I usually save the 5 bucks for the app. fee. But here in da murder mitten after after being locked down, every Karen & Kyle applied & this 1/2 century hunter had to buy O.T.C. for a 150 mile drive in unfamiliar surroundings on a June holiday weekend.

Never again!

Yep.  You do still need to pick a season for shotgun.  But if you don’t make it happen in your season you get that last chance later on when all open tags are valid.

 

I had to rely on that last season 2 years ago.

So lame.

 

I'll be in the Ozarks with the 12 gauge and bow hunt MN.


It’s their way of NOT letting go of their past control over dispersing the pressure.  I really don’t mind it that much.  It helps keep me focused on hunting at least a little bit instead of just keeping the shotgun by the back door for 6 weeks, ready for a yard bird.

 

The Ozarks hunting birds or Byrds?  Does the name Omar Navarro mean anything to ya?! 😉

One of the few years I hunted MN, I got set up on my opening day as a thunderstorm was coming.  Still dark and the birds were gobbling at every crack of thunder.  Pretty cool.  Then the torrential downpour started right about the same time it was light enough to see anything.  Then it proceeded to rain basically nonstop until my season was over.  And that was that.

 

I would be fine if the overall season was shortened but it was a free for all for those few weeks.

Ha!  Lake of the Ozarks is the Ozarks for StL and KC people.  I will be down where people need subtitles and you can throw a rock and hit Arkansas.

The noise of the robins this morning was almost deafening!  Big, big flock.

 

The swans have been on the river in the small pocket of open water for a couple weeks now and geese in the past few days.  The first “duck” sighting at home this spring is tallied as a pair (drake and hen) hooded mergansers.

seen a couple swans today too!!  still waiting to see some sandhill cranes!!! 

I’ve heard em around Anoka already!

 

Common mergs on the river now along with mor hoodeds.  Goldeneyes were in Monti awhile ago so I’m surprised I haven’t seen them here yet.

 

Driving north out of St. Cloud a couple days ago there were quite a few mallards cruising about.

 

I say it every spring: I wish they’d use this same route in the fall!

Saw Sandhills last week, heard them way overhead before seeing them. Swans have been cruising around and in the sod fields. Saw 2 Sandhills today with several ducks in a fields puddle. Nice to hear singing again in the morning, waiting to hear my first thunder chicken while walking the dog.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
